Kevin Smith, director of the upcoming "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot," says his photo was stolen to be used in a phishing scam for ketogenic diet pills. Smith claims he never took the pills before and never said the words attributed to him.

Kevin Smith has a had a whirlwind couple of years.

The New Jersey-born director has lost nearly 60 pounds since he suffered a massive heart attack between comedy sets in Feb. 2018.

That weight loss journey has been well-documented by Smith himself, who attributes most of his success to adopting a vegan lifestyle and then becoming a Weight Watchers ambassador.

Last summer, Smith shared the photo above as a joke to recreate the famous "jorts" photo snapped by a paparazzo during his heftier days.

The phishing scam claims Smith lost weight by adopting the high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet and jogging every few days. Oh, and "taking these pills."

"That quote attributed to me is not only grammatically incorrect, I believe it’s also fabricated, as I’ve *never* jogged and the only pills I take are heart-related prescriptions mandated by my cardiologist," Smith wrote.

Of all the people in the world who might be the cover celebrity for a weight loss phishing scam, Kevin Smith would never have seemed to fit the type.

The URL seen at the top of the photo shared by Smith doesn't even load, so it appears the fraud has been pulled down. As for the Keto HD pills, they're being hawked from a variety of flimsy and unusual sites with suspicious guarantees of 100% satisfaction.
